fun thread -- names



Recommended Posts

My name is Darcey O'Dell. I've heard it all from Darby O'Dell (like Darby O'Gill and the little people) or Digger O'Dell (as in grave digger). Then there are those who ask if I am any affiliation with O'dell lake (here in Oregon).

Maiden name was Smith...not a lot to go on there.

My maiden name is Rust you would think a simple name like that would not cause problems.....People were always trying to make it fancy by putting accents on it and spelling it differeltly. I always said :it's just good ole Iron oxied, corrosion, the brow/reddish junk on a piece of metal that is left out in the rain.

The probles was my brothers, he has strawberry colored hair and was teased that his name bled through to his hair...

Now my name is Mierow (pronounced like zero with a M insted of a Z) Not much to go no with that one...

How did I miss this thread last month???

My maiden name is Wilson. Not a lot you can do with that one. But I was always teased from BOYS :) about my first name Terri. I was always called TERRIBLE TERRI! Because of the spelling. But my Grandma use to say I was TERRIFIC TERRI!

My DH's sister is Kim Louise and my real name is 'Kim Louise' and we were both named after Kim Novak, my Dad used to call me Bloss (as in Blossom) and my MIL is known as Bloss because her Dad always called her that, and my Grandpa is Geoffrey Samuel and my nephew (on DH's side) is Samuel Geoffrey. DH figure we were ment to be together :(

My maiden name is Haugh. Pronounced (Haw). You can imagine the different pronounciations teachers, employers, peers and other people come up with. (Hag, Hog, Hugh, Hoe!) I think Hog was the worst because of our family being obese. I remember one Christmas a so called friend gave me hog(pig) ornaments for my CHristmas tree as a junk. That wasn't so bad, but when she made the comment "Well you and your sis are the "Hog" sister!" OH was I ever mad! Needless to say I lost all respect for her that day.

Yeah, But Since I'm Not In School Anymore, I Don't Get It A Lot. My Ex Sister -in-law Was Kristin Carroll. In Know She Got It Because I'm The One Who Called Her That. :D It Sure Does Beat Stinky cheese, Though! Haha

My Maiden name is Liotard (French/Italian) pronounced like "Lie o tard" however everyone pronounces it Leotard....My first name is Hope.... I would get "Leotard reotard...Nice one huh? Hopes a dope, Hope does Dope, and various other Hope jokes. Everyone always asks what is it short for...Its short for nothing, its just HOPE... Now my married name is Thorpe. Yep, if you say it quick enough my first and last names rhyme..Hope Thorpe..(Gotta slur the R a little in the last name...)

My mother is part Indian, Cherokee and the Cherokee people usually have last names of their occupations (from what I understand) Her last name is Skinner....YIKES!!!

My maiden name is Mc Nally & my married name is Mc Coy. Big switch huh? LOL! I had a guy in high school believe that my uncle was Rand Mc Nally. And if someone asks me if I am the real Mc Coy again I think I will scream! LOL! I worked in a doc's office when i was a teenager & there was a pt. named O.B. Massengill - no lie! The office staff drew straws over who would call him back. It was sad. LOL!

This is a great idea and so much fun.

My maiden name is german - Heise - pronounced Hi-C - you know I was teased as a kid

Then my married name was - Spiller - so I became a Hi-C Spiller!! Too funny as I do happen to be in the top ten of clumsy.

Thanks Vines, I love reading all of your responses. You are super!!!

One of the contracts I had a guy named Richard Tickle. He requested his account name be changed to Dick...

But one of the NBC correstpondents is named Mr. Tibbles..... Mr Tibbles is the perfect name for a cat not a war correspondent!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
